You know what would be a great format? Exactly like it is now, maybe a few more games, but played around the country. Play 3 or 4 games in Queensland, then play a few in NSW, then Vic, then Tassie, Then SA, then WA. Play the final at the team that finished first's home ground.

look m9 that would be fantastic and i'm sure CA floated such an idea but channel 9 wouldn't have wanted a bar of it, way to much expense for them and at the end of the day CA were desperate to get this on free to air, and they've achieved that with an alternative that really isn't as poor as your making it out to be.

and as is the flavour of the month they're growing the game in the key battleground of western sydney

- Sam Miller could have got home or at least got close if he tried. But he just gave up as soon as Klinger told him to go back. It would have put more pressure on Paine as well who received a shocking throw. Poor Effort.
- Powerplay always seems to bring wickets. Suggests that most captains are far too defensive throughout the middle-overs of the innings and could benefit from bringing the field up more often.

I know why they did it, it's not what's best for Australian cricket though. You're right that I've been overly critical but I'm passionate and I would have liked to have gone to a game or 2 this season at the MCG. Now I'll settle for a Shield game and the Test but ****** if I'm going near a Big Bash.
